  • You know what, I am living the dream life. Being Australian , I’m so privileged I can use my savings to live in a much poorer country because I can afford to live decently here and I would definitely not be able to back there. I have been travelling and doing really fun things, but at the end of the day I still have to find work because my savings keep dropping lower and lower. When I’m out travelling and doing fun things, I function just fine, I actually do love life. But everytime I have to deal with admin work whether for my travels or for finding work I have really bad meltdowns and honestly it’s taking a toll on my body, I don’t know how many more meltdowns I can take. And well eventually if all I’m able to do is have fun and not work, my money will run out and I can’t keep doing fun things that make life worth living. I’m not a special little angel and money isn’t going to fall from the sky and allow me to continue numbing the pain of living with this disability with having fun. So yea, if I can’t get my shit together and find a job I don’t have much options. And I don’t know if you know but ADHD and autism is different for everyone. I know plenty of people who can work just fine with it even if they have their struggles. Well sadly I haven’t found anything that works for me. So if I don’t find it soon, I’m screwed.



  • Thank you, appreciate it. Honestly it’s not my first choice of action, but I have tried many things and considered many different options but unfortunately for me I’m so disabled this may be the only option I have if I don’t want to end up homeless and as a consequence suffer some things that would be worse than death


  • It really is systematic. At least that’s how the system in Australia is. I have really tried to find accommodations for me but because of bureaucracy or what not, whether it’s governmental or NFP support… There is no support for me. I’m deemed not disabled enough. Even going to the doctors and telling them about what I’m going through, they all just keep telling me I need to work harder. It’s all because I don’t act disabled enough for them.

    If I was just given the right accommodations… I wouldn’t need to rely on the government or Nfps for help. I really want to work and live independently. But it’s not possible in this current society. I really wish I could immigrate to maybe somewhere in the Nordic regions because I might actually be given the right accommodations there… But at last there’s too much bureaucracy around it… it’s not possible for me.



  • Thank you for understanding. It really is the last resort if I can’t have the money to support myself. But I read about this woman here who was granted euthanasia because of ASD. But there’s nothing to say how she managed to get it approved, that’s why I’m asking around to see if anybody knows how I can go about with it if I really aren’t able to live independently.

    Here’s the article
